Londova
Londova is a collection of five Dwarven cities that reside within the mountains of Shalera. Pre-Rending the Dwarves that resided there were reclusive and borderline violent to any outsiders who disturbed them. Little is know about these Dwarves as much of the history was recorded via magic (and much of that vanished with the Rending).
The nation of Londova began as a collection of Dwarves that had fled to the surface during the Rending. When they returned to the collection of cities, the Dwarves found them uninhabited by anything other than beasts from the Underdark. They started a long and bloody campaign to reclaim the homes that once belonged to them. Their fight took almost 100 years to finish, but they cleared their home of all the beasts that had taken over. From there, they set about plugging the entrances to the Underdark and posting guards outside them.
Once the Dwarves had taken back their cities and resumed their ancient tradition of mining rare and valuable metals and minerals from the earth, they took a completely opposite approach to things from their ancestors. They expanded much of their cities to be able to fit the taller races and built large above ground areas and encouraged trade in all forms. They compete in an unspoken trade war with Rokdar in the metal market. Londova often has better prices, but Rokdar is closer and more convenient for many.
